Winner of the 2012 Christmas Tree War

Back in early December, I blogged about the war between my cat and I over the Christmas tree. I couldn't keep water in the tree stand because he would drink it. I would find ornaments on the floor. The garland looked like it had been thrown on the tree by a two-year-old.

I flew the white flag of surrender, and today, I took down the tree.

After taking all the ornaments, lights, and garland off, this is what ended up on the ground:

An extremely dry Christmas tree

This tree was so dry. Luckily, I did not plug up my vacuum cleaner when I vacuumed them all up. Yes, I tried to keep water in the tree stand, but Slick always managed to drink it all. And it hasn't affected him in the least. In fact, I think he's crazier than usual.

That's how our tree skirt will look as soon as my husband gets the tree out, hee hee. Ornaments were packed yesterday, just need to take the lights off, then it's his responsibility. Your kitty does look pleased with himself, almost as if seeking another task! :)))

Wise Advice

"Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass. " ~ Anton Chekhov "Writing makes a person very vulnerable. It opens you to public criticism, to ridicule, to rejection. But it also opens conversation and thought. It stirs minds, and touches hearts. It brings us into contact with our souls. So how can it possibly be a waste of time, an idle act, a mistake, a betrayal of truth? Who can possibly tell us not to do it?"
~Joan Chittister, Order of Saint Benedict
